Gay marriage. Shades of pink

I felt the need to put my proverbial tuppenceworth into the discussion on gay marriage, for two reasons:
1. Gay marriage is a crucial step in redefining the outdated patriarchal nuclear family and helping ensure that gay couples who so choose can live with certain rights.
2. I got married last month to my partner, on the [...]

Hi, I’m Pseudo-Preggo!

hi-im-pseudo-preggo

OK… here’s the big thing that’s crazy. And that I just-so-happen to be “suffering” from… I mean, I’m enjoying it, but whatever…
The big thing? My body thinks I’m Preggers…as I have a bad back, bad knees, and cannot lay on my stomach when sleeping. Well, the last one isn’t really because of pain, it’s because [...]

A photo of something that makes me smile: Hot cross bunny

My lover and I are that breed of non-breeders: namely a lesbian couple who adopt as many species as possible. Ironically, the concept of a substitute family didn’t cross our Sapphic minds until a friend’s assertion became a Eureka moment- only without the nudity or bubbles.

Blogging for LGBT Familes Day

So. Family, eh? Two-point-four children (I’m sure the average must’ve gone up by now) and Stacy Has Two Mommies. I would class myself as having an LGBT family…well, I fulfill the ‘L’ criteria and my Significant Other the ‘T’, which I guess makes us an LT family. Now, that’s quite odd I suppose because, to [...]

Out With The Kids

out-with-the-kids

It is an interesting situation….being out to your kids. I do not know how it feels to have adult children and breaking the news to them. All I know is what I’ve been through. I know within my heart and soul that had I known or understood I was a lesbian before my daughter entered [...]

Lesbian Quotes

    Every woman I have ever loved has left her print upon me, where I loved some invaluable piece of myself apart from me–so different that I had to stretch and grow in order to recognize her. And in that growing, we came to separation, that place where work begins. — Audre Lorde
